INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
EXHIBIT (D)(34)
Agreement made this 30th day of December, 2010 by and between The Glenmede Fund,
Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and Philadelphia International Advisors LP, a
Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “Adviser”).
1. Duties of Adviser. The Company hereby appoints the Adviser to act as investment adviser to
its Philadelphia International Small Cap Fund (the “Portfolio”) for the period and on such terms
set forth in this Agreement. The Company employs the Adviser to manage the investment and
reinvestment of the assets of the Portfolio, to continuously review, supervise and administer the
investment program of the Portfolio, to determine in its discretion the securities to be purchased
or sold and the portion of the Portfolio’s assets to be held uninvested, to provide the Company
with records concerning the Adviser’s activities which the Company is required to maintain, and to
render regular reports to the Company’s officers and Board of Directors concerning the Adviser’s
discharge of the foregoing responsibilities. The Adviser shall discharge the foregoing
responsibilities subject to the control of the officers and the Board of Directors of the Company
and in compliance with the objective, policies and limitations set forth in the Portfolio’s
prospectus and applicable laws and regulations. The Adviser accepts such employment and agrees to
render the services and to provide, at its own expense, the office space, furnishings and equipment
and the personnel required by it to perform the services on the terms and for the compensation
provided herein.
2. Portfolio Transactions. The Adviser is authorized to select the brokers that will execute
the purchases and sales of securities for the Portfolio and is directed to use its best efforts to
obtain the best available price and most favorable execution, except as prescribed herein. Subject
to policies established by the Board of Directors of the Company, the Adviser is also authorized to
effect individual securities transactions at commission rates in excess of the minimum commission
rates available, if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is
reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage or research services provided by such broker
or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Adviser’s overall
responsibilities with respect to the Company and other accounts as to which the Adviser exercises
investment discretion. The execution of such transactions shall not be deemed to represent an
unlawful act or breach of any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise. The Adviser will
promptly communicate to the officers and Directors of the Company such information relating to
portfolio transactions as they may reasonably request.
3. Compensation of the Adviser. For the services provided and the expenses assumed pursuant
to this Agreement, effective as of the date hereof, the Portfolio will pay the Adviser and the
Adviser will accept as full compensation therefor, a fee computed daily and paid monthly (in
arrears), at an annual rate of .60% of the average daily net assets held in the Portfolio.
4. Other Services. At the request of the Company, the Adviser in its discretion may make
available to the Company office facilities, equipment, and other services. Such office facilities,
equipment, and services shall be provided for or rendered by the Adviser and billed to the Company
at the Adviser’s cost. The Adviser further agrees to assume the cost of printing and
mailing prospectuses to persons other than current shareholders of the Company and the cost of any
other activities primarily intended to result in the sale of the Company’s shares.
5. Reports. The Company and the Adviser agree to furnish to each other current prospectuses,
proxy statements, reports to shareholders, certified copies of their financial statements, and such
other information with regard to their affairs as each may reasonably request.
6. Status of Adviser. The services of the Adviser to the Company are not to be deemed
exclusive, and the Adviser shall be free to render similar services to others so long as its
services to the Company are not impaired thereby.
7. Liability of Adviser. In the absence of (i) willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence on the part of the Adviser in performance of its obligations and duties hereunder, (ii)
reckless disregard by the Adviser of its obligations and duties hereunder, or (iii) a loss
resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to the receipt of compensation for services
(in which case any award of damages shall be limited to the period and the amount set forth in
Section 36(b)(3) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”)), the Adviser shall not be
subject to any liability whatsoever to the Company or to any shareholder of the Company, for any
error or judgment, mistake of law or any other act or omission in the course of, or connected with,
rendering services hereunder including without limitation, for any losses that may be sustained in
connection with the purchase, holding, redemption or sale of any security on behalf of the
Portfolio.
